Using the aging Hubble Space Telescope, Achenbach spotted an unusual spiral galaxy quasar with a visible jet. This calls into ...

Yale physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of "modes" within the human ear that put important ...

Surrounded by glowing discs of swirling gas, quasars emit immense light that can be seen across vast cosmic distances.

The night sky has always played a crucial role in navigation, from early ocean crossings to modern GPS. Besides stars, the United States Navy uses quasars as beacons. Quasars are distant galaxies with ...

In addition to rod-shaped representatives such as the widely known model bacterium E. coli, there are numerous curved and ...

Physicists have discovered a sophisticated, previously unknown set of 'modes' within the human ear that put important constraints on how the ear amplifies faint sounds, tolerates noisy blasts, and ...

While the jet itself cannot be seen in this Hubble Space Telescope infrared-light image, the spiral shape of J0742+2704 is clear, with faint but detectable arms branching above and below the ...

"The biggest surprise was seeing the distinct spiral shape in the Hubble Space Telescope images. At first I was worried I had made an error," said Achenbach, who made the discovery during the ...
